        Thanks for the hint but I needed also a xorg-nvidia-drv package
        for my 
        old kernel and that package is not available anymore at livna.
        So I hope that there will come a new kernel that gives me back
        a 
        wireless connection.
        

It looks like what happened is that the nvidia driver version got
updated to 169.12.  There is no 169.12 kmod package for the old kernel,
and there is no 169.9 package for the new kernel.  But all the old
packages are still available in the Livna repo at http://rpm/livna.org.
So you could hack a return to the old kernel for now, if you need to.

In theory, you could build your own 169.12 kmod package for the old
kernel, but I'm not sure exactly what steps you would need to take.
